The 42nd Roc d’Azur CIC takes place in southern France on 7–11 October 2026. Fréjus’s Base Nature François Léotard and the trails around Roquebrune-sur-Argens form the heart of the event. It offers a chance to combine riding with an autumn break beside the Mediterranean.
The main Roc d’Azur CIC race on Sunday 11 October is scheduled for 55 km with 1,275 metres of climbing. Shorter leisure rides and children’s events are also on the programme. When choosing a start, weigh distance and elevation against your experience on uneven ground.
New to the gravel programme is Thursday’s Canyon Gravel Roc Sprint: 33.2 km with 810 metres of climbing. Saturday’s Alltricks Rando Gravel covers 143.2 km and 2,230 metres of ascent; the route is unmarked and requires GPS navigation. The Estérel’s red rocks and the forest tracks of the Maures give the two landscapes different characters.
The free exhibition welcomes everyone on 8–11 October: 10am–7pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and until 5pm on Sunday. Recheck your chosen event’s programme before travelling. Parts of the courses cross land with special event access, so riding them in advance is prohibited.
